Before the H.van. Cathedral.

One short block from the Plaza di
Armas finds us within the large open
square in front Of the grand cathedral Of
Havana. In all the streets through
which we had heretofore passed the side
walks were 80 narrow that two people
could not walk abreast, but here, before
the church, they were very wide and
completely thronged with devotees seek
ing their shrine to worship. We paused
TO view the scene and the faces Of the
passers-by; old and young. rich and poor,
all mingled in one company; carriage
after carriage rolled up to the broad stone
steps and deposited its freight; ladies
richly dressed in the witching Spanish
costume, short skirts, scarce long enough
to conceal the arched instep and well
rounded ankle, the long, sweeping veil Of
black lace, which forms the only head
covering worn by ladies of quality. and
the fan, the inseparable fan. Shoes and
stockings would be dispensed with before
the fan. All were hurrying through the
open portals Of this temple Of worship. -

Wrinkles In the Face.

the mind, the visible expression Of every

A California woman Gives the Credit to
John Denton.
The closing days of 1s40 presented a
FAR different scene to the eyes OF Mrs.
John NJ. Murphy. of San Jose, and sister
Of Mrs. Lewis than the closing days of
1886. Then she was at Bonner lake with
q party hemmed in by snow and
a~naiously waiting for the relief which
did not come for weeks afterward.
alt is a curious fact, she began, ''that
the credit Of the gold discovery was e
given to the man 10 whom it rightfully
belongs. II was discovered in the winter
Of AZ and AZ in a cabin in which we
were at Bonner lake, seated by n fire,

That awful time at Bonner lake is as
firmly imbedded in my memory as If ham

said, we were seated around the fire
when John Denton, a gunsInith by trade,
while knocking off chips OF the rocks on
which the wood was placed. saw some
thing shining. He examined 1t and pro-
nounced it gold. He then knocked of
more chips from the rocks, and hunted in
the ashes for more Of the shining parti-

the lake or near il. Not much gold has
since been found there, because no regu-
lar prospect has been made for it.
al have been told that the rocks which
we used in the fireplace were washed
down to the lake from q mountain, in
which gold was, but this mountain was
probably many miles away from the
lake.

Risks of the Ranch,

There is one subject for the considera-
ton Of the many young men who wish
70 embark in the cattle business that is
but too seldom presented TO them. and
which they never seem to think Of them
selves. and that is the value of their in
dividual time. II a man is the possessor
Of q small capital-say $1,000, he will
figure on realizing a certain per cent,
which in most cases, by the way, will
prove fictitious. But he doesn't stop to
reflect that, since all Of his time must be
given to make a success Of the project. it
Is only right that he should take into nc.
count the actual value of his services at
home. For example, 5000 at 90 per
cent. is 1000. Now, il is an open qucs-
ton il a salary just as large IS this
amount cannot he earned by the average
man who gives the same devotion TO his
work as that necessitated by successful
stock raising. II 80, the $1,000 still re-
mains TO him TO place in some perfectly
safe Investment at q per cent. yielding
$500 annually. OF course the ranch fever
has somewhat abated, but | think the
suggestion still holds good as one Of vital
importance TO all who would Go West"

His Pride Had a Fall.

Mr.. W. T. Hornaday, the naturalist
OF the Smithsonian Institute, is in a.
peck OF trouble. There was no we'll
preserved specimen Of the American
bison In the national museum, and as
the species is almost extinct he start
ed out last fall with party OF hunters
to capture the last of the buffaloes.
For two months he hunted along the
Powder River, where they are most
numerous, and succeeded in killing a.
number OF animals, but was not able
to capture good specimen alive. He
brought home the bones and skins,
and selecting the best bull in the lot
has stuffed 1T and set it upon a pedes-
tai in the museum. He considers it a
great work OF art, as well as true re-
production OF nature, and was very
proud OF his success as we'll as his
skill. The other day, when the work
was done and the animal placed on it's
pedestal, he invited Professor Baird,
Gen. Sheridan, Gen. Van Welt and a
number ofother distinguished army Of
fcers, who had chased the bounding
bison over the plains, to come to the
museum and criticise his work, expect
Ing to hear nothing but eulogisms.
70 his disappointment and dismay
they all, with one accord, commenced
making the most savage criticisms.
One said it was too short, another
thought it was too long; others claim
ed it was too fat, more that it was
too lean. Some said the position of
the legs was not natural, and several
declared that no living buffalo ever
stuck his nose up in the air Like that.
There was not a hair that pleased any
one. The entire company expressed
their surprise that man of Mr.. Horn
aday's experience and skill should
waste his time stufing rusty old
bison like that one. He was advised
to throw it away and take another
trip to the West to get q good one.
Poor Hornaday was all broken up.
His pride became at once the most
distasteful object lie can look at and
there is no longer any joy for him in
the wide world. The critics are hav-
ing as much fun over the affair as
Hornaday is having sorrow, for the
criticisms were premeditated and the
result Of a cruel conspiracy TO humil-
late him. As one of the scientists In
the institution explained itrecently:-
s.Hornaday was getting altogether
too mucn glory out of his condemned
old beast, and ne thought ne would
fetch him down a peg. He had actual

not a specimen in the whole museum

Will never come to any good end.
Notions about what is proper for
women to do have changed slightly

The woman sufraeists will find in
her case another example of a woman
who has surpassed the men in an &C
compllshment which even to the pres
ent time has been regarded as the ex-
elusive property OF the male sex. Mrs.
Shaw Is an artist at whistling. She
whistles only classic music. Her regis

accompaniment only adds to the

What Railroad Deadheadism
Amounts to.

Pittsburg Times.
It already begins to be said that the
Interstate commerce law will be re-
pealed when Congress meets. There is
little prospect Of that. It will be
amended unquestionably. It's pro-
visions relating to free passes will have
to stand, and for the best OF reasons.
When the bill was under consideration
IN the course OF the debate these rea-
sons were set forth with great distinct
ness. President Adams, of the Union
Pacific, told a Congressional commit
tee that the pass transport on
his road would yield $7OO, 900 at the
regular rates. It has been estimated
that the Pennsylvania road will gain
$500, 900 a year by withholding pass.
es. A Director Of the St. Paul road
says his company Will gain $500, 900.
An officer OF the Burlington Company
asserts that 20 per cent. of the pas
senger transportation on his road has
been free, and believes THAI 40 per
cent. of this free transportation will
be retained at regular rates. 1t is
said that there are roads in the West
on which, at certain seasons of the
year, one-half of the passengers have
been deadheads.
